DRIV3R Racing to PC

Atari announced today that DRIV3R, the third game in the gritty action franchise, will make its way to PC gamers on March 15.

Rather than offering just a straight port of the console game, Atari's giving PC gamers an exclusive bonus mission, "The Hit."

"DRIV3R was one of the best selling games of 2004 and we're excited to bring the title to PC gamers worldwide," said Wim Stocks at Atari. "With enhanced graphics, an exclusive new mission and the behind-the-wheel experience that the Driver series is known for, PC gamers are in for a thrilling ride featuring tire-squealing car chases and tooth-rattling vehicular destruction."

Featuring Hollywood-level production values and storyline, DRIV3R casts players once again as Tanner, a jaw breaking, no-holds-barred undercover cop and master "Wheelman" who does whatever it takes to bring the bad guys down. This time, Tanner, alongside his longtime partner, Tobias Jones, must infiltrate a global car theft ring, surviving high-octane car chases and fierce on-foot firefights while tailing gangsters, chasing witnesses, stealing cars and unloading huge clips of ammo to bring the criminals to justice.

We'll bring you more on the PC version of DRIV3R as news comes in. Meantime, check out a first batch of PC screens.
